Easy Black Forest Cake Trifle Recipe

One of my all time favorite desserts is Black Forest Cake. Since I was a kid, I loved this cake. It has everything I adore: chocolate, cherries, more chocolate and cream. Now, really what is not to be loved about this cake?!

You will appreciate it even more after I will show you my approach on this traditional cake and still not miss a single flavor of the traditional one! Tell you the truth, there is nothing wrong with the whole round, traditional Black Forest Cake. It’s just something wrong with me…if I’ll bake a big, round cake I will end up eating it all in the end. And that is not something I want to happen :)! So, making Black Forest Cake Trifles will give me the chance to enjoy with moderation. Moderation and chocolate in the same sentence……really???
